Saint John the Evangelist’s Day.
Psalm 11
In Domino confido
IN THE Lord put I my trust : how say ye then to my soul, that she
should flee as a bird unto the hill?
2. For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows
within the quiver : that they may privily shoot at them which are true of
heart.
3. For the foundations will be cast down : and what have the righteous
done?
4. The Lord is in his holy temple : the Lord’s seat is in heaven.
5. His eyes consider the poor : and his eye-lids try the children of
men.
6. The Lord alloweth the righteous : but the ungodly, and him that
delighteth in wickedness, doth his soul abhor.
7. Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and
tempest : this shall be their portion to drink.
8. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness : his countenance will
behold the thing that is just.
The Collect.
MERCIFUL
Lord,
we beseech thee to cast thy bright beams of light upon thy Church, that it
being enlightened by the doctrine of thy blessed Apostle and Evangelist Saint
John may so walk in the light of thy truth, that it may at length attain to the
light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
[Then
shall follow the Collect of the Nativity, which shall be said continually unto
New-year’s Eve.]
